Major changes are being made to the layout, which need to be reported immediately, so I’ve put off the promised look at more of the layout’s details. The Modern City on the layout is undergoing sweeping urban renewal. The entire city center inside the mainline track loop has been leveled, literally. Not only have all the buildings been removed but the layout tables, which previously were in the form of streets sloping upward toward the fountain plaza in front of the domed capitol building, were lowered to the level of the surrounding mainline tracks.
